FOMO

Fiona Jamison / 25 years / Ski Coach

Fiona grew up skiing every winter with her family where her dad had a no-stopping policy. He worked out what it cost per minute up the mountain, so stopping was not an option! This gave Fiona a hard-core approach to skiing and she joined Warren Smith’s Ski Academy in Verbier. Fiona became the first ever female coach for WSSA, joining an elite team of 5 professional male coaches.

Fiona instantly won them over with her skiing, charm and zest for life. Her clients now include some of the world’s biggest hitters, and even the Royal Family! Fiona is an inspiration to all women, and also to all guys as she lives the dream in the mountains, doing what she loves every day and not conforming to the norm. Constantly having (as she would call them) ‘loving life moments.’ Get to know her a little better right here.

MOST INSPIRING PERSON YOU HAVE MET SO FAR

It has to be the GB Paralympic Team; I trained them last year in Austria. They skied the course so fast, despite their disabilities. Sometimes through the day I would get tired and then look over to them and couldn’t believe what super humans they were! It kept me going!
